The gains certainly consisted mostly of marginals, with just a few Republican trending areas. There are some over the top folks in the marginals now, so the sustainability is in question.
On redistricting, it may help a little, but I'm not sure how much. Ohio loses two seats and I don't see how the GOP can avoid cutting at least 1 of their own seats and possibly tilting more toward marginal. Same with PA, they'll have to decide who to protect and who to let go, because it's impossible to protect all their incumbents. If fair redistricting holds in Florida, that will be another problem, a gerrymander free Florida won't be as Republican solid as it is under the current map.
